FernFern is a page per plant: dated photos plus what you changed. A year of growth replays in one swipe, which is the only honest way to see a slow plant move.
Buce PlantBuce Plant is an aquascaping shop in app form: aquarium plants, hardscape and tanks, for the part of a collection that lives underwater instead of on a shelf.
ParcelParcel tracks the box, not the plant. Paste the number and you know how many more days the cutting is sitting in a truck before it needs unpacking.
